Yeah, how is your finger, Susan?
 
Just saw this poor Janet, but you are a STRONG one.... I would have been tempted to milk it! :)
 
YaaOUCHers!
 
Egads, Janet, isn't it a little early to be showing us part of you Halloween costume? This will be hard to duplicate when it is costume time! I can see a faint hint of yellow, but it is hard to detect over the glaring bright purple my eyes are attracted to!!

You had better get a little sympathy for this one...pain or no pain!

A little from a few coworkers, none really at home...and I keep showing it to DH... :rolleyes:

Oh well...well, I'm off to bed - I'm tired this week!
 
Ouch, hope you get better soon!

My son's eye looks really similar! He was playing football w/friends Tuesday evening and was elbowed in his right eye! Go figure teenage boys think they can play football w/no gear on!! It swelled almost shut now it is pretty shades of purple/pink and his eye is half red. I've called the Dr's office twice and they say he doesn't need to be seen. He has a physical tomorrow morning anyway so I'm glad it will be looked at.

So, the foot is coming along...I'm hoping it gets back to normal color by next Friday!
My cousin is getting married Friday night and it REALLY does not go with this dress I bought for her wedding. I have black heels that are closed in front and a strap in back that I wanted to wear with it...

Wow Janet! That's quite the little black dress!:thumbup:

Maybe if you find a purple necklace to go with it, the purple ankle won't be so out of place.:D:p

Yes, I got it for $32.00 so I splurged. I have to adjust the straps this weekend so I don't feel like I'm "showing" off too much, although DH thought it was fine. :rolleyes:

It's a Friday night wedding at the Kemper Center in Kenosha with reception afterwards so I figured the dress would be pretty appropriate.

Purple necklace...hmm... ;) Naw...

I'm going to wear my gold/pearl necklace that I wore at my wedding. DH got it for me for Valentine's Day that year. I have pearl/gold drop earrings to go with it.

So, even though I seem to have full mobility in my ankle, it is very tender when touched. DH is trying to convince me to get an X-ray "just in case". <Sigh> ...not like he'd go in given the same situation.

Well, a cast would solve the problem of the purple showing at the wedding!:D

Not if it was a purple cast!
 
Janet - it seems as if it is more swollen today than yesterday... you need some rest chica! and btw, has Carolyn even seen this thread? ;)
 
It looks more swollen. The yellows are coming through better. With the black dress and the yellow foot, you will look like a bumble bee!!!

How about some of those support hose they put on you in the hospital to promote circulation?!? That will cover your wounds!

Just thinking about wearing heels and looking at your foot make me wince!:cry::yuck:

Actually it is less swollen, it's kind of hard to take a picture of your own ankle! ;)I was bending it a little probably...I think Carolyn saw it...it was all in honor of her gross ear pictures!!!! ;)
...and foot photos...
...and...
